Turkish transfer expert debunks news of Super Eagles star joining Osimhen at Galatasaray
Bright-Osayi has been the subject of transfer speculation in the last couple of months, having been linked with a move away from Fenerbache.
The Nigerian international contract with Fenerbahçe is set to expire at the end of the current season and an extension has not yet been agreed upon by both parties.
Despite being one of Jose Mourinho’s key players this season, the defender's contract has been a major issue for the club.
What Nevzat said
Galatasaray transfer expert Dindar refuted the claims that he was linked to a move to the Yellow-Reds on the Arma Sports YouTube channel, stating that the club would not be able to pay the debt.
According to habersarikirmizi.com, he said, "The possibility of Bright Osayi-Samuel is weak. The management denied it. Galatasaray will not give Osayi Samuel the money Fenerbahçe gave him.
He added that the players' representation are spreading allegations that the Nigerian midfielder is joining Galatasaray in an attempt to increase the player's worth and perhaps pressure Fenerbache to meet his demands.
The transfer expert continued, "Osayi's agent is deliberately spreading the news about Osayi."
Under Jose Mourinho, he has played in every game he is eligible to play this season, making ten appearances in the league and dishing up one assist to solidify his position in the squad.
The Nigerian fullback may now talk with other teams and find a move as a free agent because his contract is slated to expire in the summer.
